Hi Manju,
Great letter and great edits by Bruna. I edited a few small things and
then pulled out and expanded our "ask" - that we would like the GNSO
Council to hold a comment period to provide input and guidance to this
small group of individuals appointed to talk to the GAC (should our
excellent and well-founded objections to the process be overruled).
This will provide a way for the GNSO Council to know the
issues/concerns/hopes o the GNSO Community on this matter - and to
provide clear input and guidance to the the small Committee for the
negotiations that may lie ahead.
Here's the paragraph - building on opening sentences of Manju and edits
of Bruna:
We strongly support as the first step that the GNSO Council seek public
comment from the community on how to proceed with Closed Generics, as
opposed to having a ‘closed dialogue’ with the GAC where the scope and
interlocutors of such dialogue is dictated by the ICANN Board. This
input will provide the Council with issues and concerns of the GNSO
Community. The Council, in turn, can provide guidance to the members of
the Council who will be leading this discussion - should it occur
despite our deep concerns for Multistakeholder process and precedent.
How else will this small team - some with very, very long-held personal
views on the subject - be bound to a discussion on behalf of the entire
GNSO Community?
I recommend putting the paragraph in bold for those who tend to scan
their email.
Best, Kathy
